WAR ON DEBT

Alright so having an article on how much debt we are in as nations, I thought I would also blog about how to get out of debt if you have any… YIPEE … The application of KNOWLEDGE is POWER!

Welcome to Modern Day Slavery…
You’ve Been Conned!

Think You’re Not A Slave?
That’s Exactly What They Want!


Let me share a secret with you…

There’s a sneaky and largely unnoticed form of slavery that still prevails in this country today. It is so undercover that most people never realize that these chains are holding them down.

In Fact… it’s much more sinister because people actually like it, embrace it and willingly increase it, year after year, until it owns their soul.

Chances are you have been working for a master whose modern day bondage is deceptive, accepted and even encouraged by our own government and the media that captivates your attention every day!

Right now you are being pushed around and bullied by these people who want to make you think you have it all while they set you up for a financial meltdown… and you ask them to do it!

Make no mistake, if you are in DEBT,
you are a Modern Day SLAVE!!

Can this be true?

“Debt is so ingrained into our culture that most Americans can’t even envision a car without a payment … a house without a mortgage … a student without a loan … and credit without a card. We’ve been sold debt with such repetition and with such fervor that most folks can’t conceive of what it would be like to have NO payments.”
~ Dave Ramsey

Just let this sink in for a minute…

Imagine being alive in early Rome where, if you couldn’t repay your debt, you would literally become a slave to your creditor. He could sell you or even kill you! That won’t happen today but creditors can still make your life miserable!

What does this have to do with me?

I have a good job, a house, a couple of nice cars, a wonderful marriage and great kids. We take 2 vacations a year, go to movies, sporting events, play video games and have lots of friends.

If you are financing ANY of this
you have been duped!

Consider yourself a poster child for
the masters of modern day slavery

“A debt is a bet, an implicit wager that you’ll have money later to pay for all the crap you’re buying now that you can’t afford.”
~ Carolyn Bigda and Megan Johnston

Some of you are just now realizing that the sneaky form of slavery is a big part of your lifestyle. The rest of you are in bondage that is not so subtle, especially if you…

  • Have a bit of discretionary income, but you can’t seem to get ahead because of your credit card debt.
  • Assuming the month brings no unexpected expenses, you are just able to make your monthly payments.
  • Have almost no discretionary income and are living paycheck to paycheck.
  • Fear that any mishap will do you in.
  • Need to start saving for your retirement or your kids’ college but just don’t seem to have the time or the discipline to do so.
  • Do not make enough to pay all of your minimum payments each month.
  • Want to protect your credit rating at all costs.
  • Are starting to feel as though bankruptcy may be your only option.

“Living in debt is nerve-wracking, insomnia-producing, and family-wrecking. Just don’t do it. There is nothing you can buy that feels as good as being in debt feels bad.”
~ Ben Stein

Here’s the scary part…

  • America is the richest country in the world, yet, ironically, we have the highest percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck. A recent study from ACNielsen revealed that about one in every four Americans say they don’t have any spare cash. Kiplinger
  • Approximately 35 million Americans pay only the required minimum — as low as 2 percent — of their balance each month. Frontline. Aired on PBS
  • Roughly 2 to 2.5 million Americans seek the help of a credit counselor each year, mostly to avoid bankruptcy. Georgetown University
  • The size of the total consumer debt grew nearly five times in size from 1980 ($355 billion) to 2001 ($1.7 trillion). Consumer debt in 2007 now stands at $2.5 trillion. Federal Reserve Statistics
  • The average household in 2007 carried nearly $8,500 in credit card debt. Federal Reserve Statistics
  • Britain’s personal debt is increasing by ~ £1 million every 5 minutes. CreditAction.org.uk

National Debt

3, 574, 468, 725, 001 ….. 121,932 …………. 43, 724

Take a look at those 3 numbers and wonder about them for a minute.

You may want to visit www.usdebtclock.org to see how those numbers have changed since this article was written at 17:33 19th Oct 2010 (South African time). Unless you are a mathematician, the first number is too large to even think about.

Most of us can wrap our minds around that last figure. The national USA debt amounts to $43,724 for every man, woman, boy, and girl that lives in the USA. And since tax payers are the ones who actually foot that bill, the second figure is even more telling. The load for each tax payer at this moment is approaching $122,000.00.  America is now up to it’s neck in DEBT.

Mind you they are not the only ones, (South Africa debt $73.84 )billion UK debt (£927.4  billion) (India debt $273.1 billion) In fact it seems as though every nation  on the planet has a bad PUBLIC DEBT to GDP RATIO!!!!!!

Can you see the pattern with America leading the way?

America is going under for the third time.

One would think the church would be at the forefront of leading its members to understand both the spiritual and national implications for a generation that is borrowing against the very hopes of generations to come. There was a time when Christians and church leaders saw the need to live prudently in the present and trust God for the future.

Consider the amazing life of George Mueller and the work he did throughout England in the 1800s.  In an era when orphans and the needy were seldom cared for, George Mueller of Bristol, England trusted God to be his financial advisor so he could help the helpless. Muller believed God’s Word instructed him never to solicit gifts and to never accept any government money for his orphanages. Mueller took his own rules seriously. He refused a salary from his church and abolished the practice of purchasing pews. Through prayer and faith, he trusted God to manage whatever monies came in to further His kingdom.

By the time of his death, Mueller’s society had provided homes and education for 23,000 orphans, given away tens of thousands of Bibles, and had supported 150 missionaries, including Hudson Taylor. Near his death Mueller said, “It is not enough to obtain means for the work of God, but that these means should be obtained in God’s way. To ask unbelievers for means is not God’s way; to pressure believers to give is not God’s way; but the duty and the privilege of being allowed to contribute to the work of God should be pointed out, and this should be followed up with earnest prayer, believing prayer, and will result in the desired end.”

What do you think of when you hear, “SILVER”?

When most people think of silver, images of jewelry tend to come to mind in the form of earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces. As imaginations wander, coins both ancient and as recent as the 20th century might be added to the list, along with house wares, armor and silverware. But silver is so much more than that.

Men and women the world over have adorned themselves with this malleable metal since very likely the Bronze Age. (Depending upon where they lived, this period of advanced metalworking lasted between 3300 BC – 300 BC.) Its chemical properties are what allow it to be easily manipulated.

Check Those Coins in the Attic—They Could Be Worth a Lot More Than Their Face Value

It is this very malleability that made it an obvious choice for currency. The first known coins date back to 610 BC and were made from silver by the Lydians (circa 1200 BC – 1st century BC). Although these people no longer exist today, at one time Lydia was quite a powerful empire that encompassed today’s Asia Minor, modern Turkey and western Anatolia.

Since 610 BC, countries continued using silver in currency making. In fact, at some point, nearly every country on all seven continents found a use for silver in its coinage. Over time as the price of silver rose, countries either added alloys (such as copper and nickel) or discontinued its use altogether. The United States was a little slower than most industrialized nations to stop using silver in its currency.

The U.S. continued producing coins made entirely from silver until 1921. However, as the price rose, it became illogical to continue doing so. As a result, copper and nickel slowly started edging out silver. By 1965, quarters made from silver were replaced entirely with those made from copper and nickel and the beloved dollar held on as long as it could. By the 1970s, the U.S. saw its last silver dollar minted, which was by this point 40% silver and 60% copper/nickel.

What Do Medical Device Makers Have in Common with Hippocrates and Alchemists?

Might it surprise you to know that this precious metal has for many years been used in a variety of medical situations? A natural antiseptic and possessing anti-inflammatory properties, which are derived from an antimicrobial agent, silver is well known for, among other things, healing wounds. Incidentally, this is nothing new in the medical community; however, it was a practice that fell out of favor with doctors until about ten years ago. What is ironic is that the first uses of silver and gold to heal wounds, especially those of burn victims or as an elixir, date back to the 16th century. So, if proven to work, why did physicians so easily dismiss it until only recently? The answer lies not in whether it was safe and efficacious but rather who discovered its usefulness. Alchemists, whose practices and philosophy have frequently been debated by doctors, scholars and laypersons alike, are credited with discovering silver and gold’s healing properties. What they discovered is very interesting.

Without using vernacular that might otherwise turn off most non-medical personnel, how silver is beneficial in wound healing is actually quite simple. Silver minimizes zinc on the skin’s surface, which decreases an enzyme known as Metalloproteinase (MMP) and in turn stimulates healthy tissue. In decreasing MMP, the natural anti-inflammatory properties present in silver increase production of calcium, which is necessary for wounds and in particular burns to heal.

Hippocrates (460 BC – 370 BC) surmised that silver had numerous healing applications and could ward off disease. Although it took several thousand years to gain acceptance, during World War I, silver gained FDA approval for use as an antimicrobial agent. In the form of colloidal silver, it was commonly used as a disinfectant. Once penicillin was introduced during World War II, this put silver out of business as a crude form of antibiotic.

Given its proven disinfectant tendencies, many medical device manufacturers have been incorporating silver in urinary catheters, which have proven to reduce bacteria build-up in patients requiring use of one. Additionally, it is not uncommon for breathing tubes to contain a certain percentage of silver. Unlikely uses for silver include the following:

  • Treatment and prevention of conjunctivitis
  • Treatment and prevention of gonorrhea
  • To decrease swelling in mucous membranes in the nose, throat, urethra and colon

Although for off-label use, which means not yet FDA approved and considered to be either experimental or an alternative to Western medical practices, colloidal silver has shown success in treatment of the following:

  • Certain cancers
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Diabetes
  • Herpes
  • Tuberculosis

Snake Oil

Unfortunately, for all its healing, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits, it should be of little surprise that there would be those who claim silver is a cure-all and can be taken as a dietary supplement. What makes this assertion bogus is that for a dietary supplement to work as claimed, it presupposes that silver is an essential mineral that naturally occurs in the human body. Given that it does not, by definition it fails to meet the requirement to be considered a dietary supplement. In fact, taking silver on a daily basis has proven to be dangerous. While controlled amounts are safe and efficacious for treating specific ailments, silver in large quantities is linked to many of the following:

  • Kidney failure
  • Stomach distress
  • Seizures and other neurological problems
  • Ironically, skin irritation
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue

So, if you see an infomercial claiming that silver can make you  “better, faster, stronger” if taken daily, see them for what they are—snake oil salespeople. Alternatively, if you have occasion to need a catheter or God forbid, are victim of 2nd or 3rd degree burns, by all means, say YES to silver.

Risk Taking

We must put the things which can go wrong in the back of our minds, while keeping the things which must go right in the front. We must be dynamic, vigorous risk-takers, whose eyes are always turned toward our strengths and assets, rather than toward our weaknesses and liabilities. We must wake up in the morning thinking only of “ways to do the things we want to do” , rather than waking up thinking of “all the reasons why we cannot do those things”

We must repeatedly think of the many achievements which we are going to accomplish in the future. Which must be vastly superior to anything we have ever done in the past. Having said this, DOING THIS will probably take some RISK.

Anyone who achieves anything of greatest has first had to take some kind of RISK.

FLIP WILSON’S STORY

Flip Wilson, the famous comedian, is best know for his ability to make people laugh. Once he said on a more serious note. “I fell down and got up, I fell down and got up. For sixteen years I did practically nothing else but fall down and get up.

Even so I bet you Flip Wilson never saw himself as a failure. If he did he would have never found the courage to try “just one more time,” and you and I would probably have never even heard his name.

THE YOUNG MILLIONAIRES

Bob talks of a book he read on the subject of risk taking. It was called The Young Millionaires, and he says it contains the true-life stories of eighteen individuals, each of who had earned in excess of one million dollars. He says a lot of them even exceeded one million dollars.

He says the author made many interesting observations about the “law of financial success,” but the most important one was the one which he kept coming back to; namely, although these individuals came from a variety of different backgrounds and although each had earned their money in a different way, they all shared one thing in common.

This one thing simply put was this – even though everything they owned was riding on the outcome of virtually every major business decision which they made, none of them considered themselves to be taking “risks.” The reason they didn’t, he went on to explain, was because they were living their lives “as though it were impossible to fail!”

Fighter Pilot Ready

A research into fighter pilots was done some years ago. These fighter pilots fought in World War 2. What they determined, contrary to what people might think, many of the pilots that “played it safe” during the war, were among the first to be killed in combat.

They also found that, practically without exception, not only were the surviving aces individuals who refused to “play it safe”, but they were the greatest risk-takers throughout the war.

Indeed, as one has the opportunity to observe the performance of individuals from all walks of life, it soon becomes evident that whoever “plays it safe” in life, dies, and dies relatively young. For although many of these individuals remain “clinically” alive for numerous years, when their hearts finally cease beating it is a mere formality, because the truth is, they have never really lived!

Why are so many of us destined to go through our entire lives in this condition of self-imposed misery, simply because we are unable, or unwilling, to take meaningful risks? Well, it seems to me if we will only cast our minds back to the formative years of our own lives, we will soon recognize where this reluctance to engage in risk-taking behavior has its source. Once we have arrived at that point, I believe we will have come a long way in our attempt to combat, and ultimately neutralize, this insidious problem. I exhort you to pay very strict attention to the information which will now be set-out before you.

When you were a young child – in fact, even as far back as the time when you were an infant – your parents desperately wanted to see you succeed. As a consequence of this wish, they were terrified by the prospect that you might somehow fall short of their expectations of you. This was perfectly natural, in light of the fact they loved you very dearly.

Unfortunately, however, it motivated them to attempt to shelter you from EVERY POTENTIAL HARM which might come up in your life! For example, when you first started to walk, they were right by your side and as soon as you even looked like you were going to stumble, they quickly grabbed onto you, so you would not fall and hurt yourself.

Similarly, when you engaged in your first fist fight with “the little terror next door,” your parents were there to soothe the bruised feelings. They probably tried to console you by saying “You were right dear, and the other wrong – the other child was a bully.” Next, they probably said something like, In the future, dear, be very careful and try to stay away from kids like that.” If your upbringing was typical of that of most of us, your first bicycle probably brought with it repeated warnings such as: “Be careful,” “don’t fall,” “watch out,” and so on. In this manner, you were slowly but surely “PROGRAMMED” to make every move in your life with a brilliant CAUTION LIGHT burning brightly on the screen of your impressionable young mind.

It’s important therefore for us to gain an awareness that regardless of what anyone has told us, none of us were ever born with a fear of taking risks. As I clearly indicated above, the fear of taking risks is something which we LEARNED, only after we entered this wonderful world of ours. In fact, in contrary to what many people have mistakenly been left to believe, the human being – if left to his or her own devices – is a BORN risk-taker who is “naturally” programmed to follow the path which will eventually lead to greatness in his or her own life.

but, be that as it may, before you embark on this exciting path of risk-taking, you should remember never to lose sight of the fact that becoming a risk-taker does not mean becoming an irresponsible individual. If you really think it through, you will realize these two concepts are mutually exclusive. For becoming a risk-taker means to act courageously, and to act courageously is considerable different from acting foolishly. You might actually encounter a few situation where the line separating these two concepts becomes extremely narrow. Nevertheless, it is absolutely essential you never cross over that line, inadvertently, or otherwise!

Risk taking is also a relative term. In other words, behavior which represents a risk to one person may not necessarily represent a risk to another person. Moreover, if the same behavior were carried out by a third party, one might even be tempted to deem it irresponsible conduct. It is CLEAR, therefore, that one must be able to distinguish among these different concepts with a significant degree of accuracy. In order to achieve this, it becomes necessary to go back to one of the basic principles involved in the process of self-development.

RISK TAKING VS. IRRESPONSIBILITY

People who are irresponsible very rarely accomplish anything of importance and quite often they invite real harm to themselves. They might actually achieve some success, but these occur infrequently, and they are normally over shadowed by the negative results that they are not even worth mentioning.

Think about a person who dives off a cliff into a shallow body of water, simply because he has been dared by his friends. Although this person may be afraid to dive, for some strange reason he is even more afraid of what the others might think or say if he did not dive. This persons fear of diving is perfectly normal, in view of the fact that he probably has had no training as a diver. As a result of this, when he does contemplate what might happen if he did dive, he visualizes himself being very seriously injured. For this individual to go ahead and dive would be EXTREMELY FOOLISH, would you not agree? His actions would have to be considered irresponsible by anyone’s standards.

On the other hand if this same person was a trained professional diver and if he were skilled at taking all the various factors into consideration, lets say for example that he was able to visualize himself successfully going through all of the necessary motions such as swimming to shore, stepping back on land unharmed, checking the levels appropriately, etc, then it would be a totally different situation. For although the person would still be taking a definite risk, no one could accuse him of acting in an irresponsible manner.

STUNT PEOPLE in the movie industry are constantly performing dangerous acts. In fact, that is precisely what they get paid for. But do not be deceived! For these men and women are not amateurs by any means. They are all competent professionals, highly skilled in the performance of their dangerous trade. They check and double check every calculation, before they make even the simplest move. As a result, they very rarely get injured. Stunt people are DEFINITELY risk takers, but they are very rarely irresponsible individuals!

INVESTMENTS

Now, turn your attention to a guy who invests his inheritance in a venture which he knows practically nothing about. Lets say that a person who he held in high esteem suggested this investment as a great idea and that the investors stood to earn an extraordinary high rate of return on it. Let’s also assume that despite the person’s very grave misgivings about going into the venture at all, he is also being strongly motivated by greed, to seek the highest possible rate of return which can be earned on the money invested. Finally, suppose that the tremendous fear of loss notwithstanding, the person decided to go ahead and makes the investment anyway. What happens next?

After the investment has been made, most of the person’s waking hours will probably be spent: worrying about the investment and visualizing himself reduced to a state of abject poverty.

It is SO clear that this sort of behavior must be deemed the polar opposite of financial responsibility and the person involved must be considered imprudent and irresponsible, rather than a “RISK TAKER.” The outcome is predictable! The individual in question loses the money, not to mention the former friendship of the individual who orginally suggested the investment. (The reason for this is simple! Foolish, irresponsible people seldom blame themselves for making such errors.)

On the other hand, if this person in question listened carefully to the suggestion of his friend or relative and then studied the situation for himself, he could have formed an opinion which was based on sound knowledge rather than hearsay, and which was motivated by genuine interest rather than simple greed. At that point, the individual could have gone ahead and invested a sum of money which would not have placed his total financial situation in jeopardy. Then, as he gathered more information based on actual experience, he could have gradually increased his investment if such action appeared to be in his best interest.

If our hypothetical individual followed the second course of action, he would certainly be taking a risk.  Lets say in the second instance that this person did make a bad judgment call and lost his money. He would still have his friendship and he would still have his own self respect, because he would realize he had been guilty of nothing more than an error in judgment. Also the individual would probably not reject future investment possibilities, should they arise.

So I’m sure you are getting this loud and clear – RISK TAKERS are knowledgeable people who study situations carefully, have confidence in their own abilities and have very healthy self-image. Put more succinctly, we can say risk-takers, unlike irresponsible people, are “nobody’s fool.”

BUSINESS FAILURES

If we were to examine the statistics regarding the number of business failures each year, without closely studying each situation separately, one could very easily conclude that going into business for oneself is an “irresponsible act.

However, that is just not the case! The truth of the matter is, many of the people who have going into bankruptcy, should never have gone into business for themselves in the first place, either because they were not properly prepared or because they simply did not know what they were doing.

These people lacked the skill, the knowledge, or the proper support to get their business “off the ground.” Bear in mind that although it takes most new companies at least three years before they are properly established, some of these individuals didn’t allow for three months, or even three weeks, to give their business a chance.

ALSO, note that many of these people were those employees who thought their boss was incompetent, or the owners of the company which employed them didn’t know what they were doing. Obviously, everyone who fails to get a new business going does not fall into this category, but there are certainly many people who do.

Having said that, there certainly are many individual risk-takers who have succeeded in establishing businesses of their own.

In the great musical South Pacific, Mary Martin sang, “If you don’t have a dream, if I don’t have a dream, how are we going to make a dream come true?”

I believe that everyone of us has our OWN DREAM. We all have a vision, an idea or a picture of some great or grand thing or accomplishment, which will float to the surface of our consciousness from time to time. For a few brief moments, we permit ourselves doing, being or having, whatever that dream might be. There is no doubt in my mind that you too “hold” a picture of something which floats to the surface of your consciousness periodically, and if the truth were to be known, you would dearly love to execute that dream.

Well, the simple TRUTH is YOU CAN! But in ALL LIKELIHOOD, it is going to require a CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF COURAGE on your part. Remember, it makes no difference, at this moment, how bizarre your idea might appear. In fact, you might even regard it as sheer fantasy. Nevertheless, you can begin to turn it into a reality, by making a written description of whatever it is you would like to do, have or be. Write out your ambition in as much details as possible and in the present tense. Do not write it out as something that you are “planning” to do; rather, write it out is if it were something you are currently doing. In big bold letters write, “I CAN” and then yell it, say it and sing it – drill the idea that you are now going to do this thing, into your subconscious mind. Then, choose a friend who has a lot of confidence in you – someone whose thinking is compatible with your own, not someone who will put you down and laugh at your idea – to share your idea with. Select someone who will build you up and help instill confidence in you, with respect to your idea.

Remember that is makes no difference whether your goal is starting a new business, buying a building a new home, getting a new automobile, a new position at work, setting a sales record, or getting an honors mark in school. Whatever it may be, you must step out and boldly pursue it!

Keep reminding yourself that you have tremendous reservoirs of potential within you, and therefore, you are quite capable of doing almost anything you “set your mind to.” All you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether or not you can. Begin to visualize yourself as a risk-taker and then start telling yourself you are one. Become fully aware of the “good vibrations” you get simply by virtue of practicing these simple mental exercises.

Find yourself a PEN AND PAD. Prepare a balance sheet by taking an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and draw a straight line down the center of the page. On the left hand side, place a minus sign and on the right hand side place a plus sign. Under the minus sign, write out the very worst thing that could happen to you, if you were to follow through with your idea. On the right hand side, write out all the good things – the very best things – that could happen to you if you were to go ahead with this dream. Clearly understand that so long as what you plan to do is honest and honorable, whatever goes on the left hand side of the page is not going to be disastrous. On the other hand, however, what goes on the right hand side of the page could turn out to be absolutely magnificent.

For three years now I have been studying the biographies and autobiographies, of men and women who have truly accomplished “something of significance” in their lifetime. I have found, moreover, that almost without exception, these individuals had fallen short of their goals on numerous occasions, but that never deterred them!


I too have failed to hit the mark on a few occasions and I will admit that it is painful to experience this. It also can be embarrassing. Be that as it may, it has NEVER and never will stop me doing my best again and again. Guess what, it needn’t stop you either! We all posses the ability to get up and get going once again.

Make up your mind right now, that you are going to become the “RISK-TAKER” you truly wish to become and were BORN to be.

Have a GREAT day!

What Are Thoughts?

Thoughts Are Things

I hold it true that thoughts are things;

They’re endowed with bodies

and breath and wings:

And that we send them forth to fill

The world with good results, or ill.

That which we call our secret thought

Speeds forth to earth’s remotest spot,

Leaving its blessings or its woes

Like tracks behind it as it goes.


We build our future, thought by thought,

For good or ill, yet know it not.

Yet so the universe was wrought.

Thought is another name for fate;

Choose then thy destiny and wait,

or love brings love and hate brings hate.

HENRY VAN DYKE

What an interesting poem don’t you think? I loved it and had to include it. Poem is such a beautiful way to get a concept across.

In an interwiew held with Dr. Wernher von Braun in Febuary of 1976, Dr. von Braun was quoted as follows: “After years of probing the spectacular mysteries of the universe, I have been led to a firm belief in the exsitence of God. The grandeur of the cosmos serves only to confirm my belief in the certainty of a creator. I just cannot envision this whole universe coming into being without something like divine will. The natural laws of the universe are SO presice that we have no difficulty building a spaceship to fly to the moon and can time the flight with the precision of a fraction of a second. These laws must of been set by somebody.” Dr. von Braun went on to say, that “science” and “religion,” properly understood, are not antagonistic pursuits. On the contrary, he affirmed, they are “sister disciplines.”

Through science one learns more about “creation,” whereas, with religion, we gain a greater insight into the “Creator”

By using SCIENCE we harness the forces of nature which surround us and through RELIGION we study the personality and likeness of God, which are at work IN US.

The DOCTOR also added this, “There would not be a single great accomplishment in the history of mankind without FAITHAny person who strives to accomplish something needs a degree of faith in himself and when he takes on a challenge that requires more and more moral strength then he can must, he needs faith in God.

Years before ANYONE would even accept the idea of a man landing on the moon, Dr. von Braun was asked, “What would it take to make a rocket to reach the moon.” He replied simply, “The will to do it.” WOW. Dr von Braun was indeed an brilliant man who possessed a GREAT understanding of life and the tremendous awareness of the laws governing the universe. In fact, he is considered, by many experts in the field, to be the “GURU” of the space program. Like all great thinkers, he had gained a profound insight into the “Spiritual” laws of life.

There is a difference between mind and matter; between the physical and the nonphysical world.

We must realize that everything is vibrating in the physical world, nothing sits still.

Everything is in a constant state of motion. Everything from the electrons to the universe, everything is in vibratory motion. We are made of atoms which have a constant state of vibration. Rates of vibration are also known as frequencies and these are all around us. The higher these frequencies the more potent the force is.

SINCE THOUGHT is one of the HIGHEST FORMS of vibration/frequency/thought, it is very potent in nature and must be understood.

To understand this better, stick your arm out. Have a look at your arm closely? Hold it perfectly still! Are you able to perceive any motion in that arm at all? …Probably not, unless you are shaky. To you and I it would probably look very still, but under a powerful microscope it would become apparent that your arm is still in a constant state of motion.

NOW BEGIN to shake your arm around… You, yourself, are now causing the arm to vibrate. It was already vibrating on it’s own, but now you have increased the vibration.

You pushed down on the vibratory accelerator :)

NEXT…

We can all be put into to classification of personality types. Positive or Negative. Those who are more positive in their thoughts always tend to look upon the brighter side of life. With their faces turned toward the sunshine, they attempt to see the good, even in the bad. These kinds of people HABITUALLY think thoughts of a positive nature and they are a blessing to the world. Their minds are in a positive vibration!

Negative personalities on the other hand, habitually look upon the dark, gloomy, and depressing side of life. Even the good holds some bad for them. They dwell on the bad and the negative. They think about it, they actually EXPECT it. Their minds are in a negative vibration!

These personalities are depressing to everyone around them. Their faces take on the expression, in a PHYSICAL form, from all the negative thoughts which they are holding in their minds. Each day, we can observe such individuals passing us on the street. No cheer, no joy radiates from them – just gloom, frowns and hostility. Having created their own hell for themselves, they seem to enjoy wallowing in it.

These two types are necessary as from the law of Polarity and Relativity ,which states that for every positive there is an equal and opposite negative. Optimist and Pessimist.

With FREE WILL, you can choose throughout your day which personality type you wish to adopt. If a person is constantly negative they can change. Through proper effort, they can become a positive personality type.

Not many people are 50/50 positive or negative. If you think of a scale most people tend to tip in one direction. Naturally if you take an average, the mass of people are 20% optimistic and 80% pessimistic. The trick is to swap that around, because it’s your perception!

OUR BRAIN – OUR BODY

The human body is one of the most efficient electrical instruments in this entire universe. Have you got that?

The brain is probably the most efficient electrical instrument ever created. Both are TRUE MARVELS.

The brain is the part of the body where vibrations of the mind are transformed from one to another. In the brain, for example, sensations are transformed into an action. They cause your muscles to move.

If you feel something hot, instinctively you move away. Your brain picked up on a sensation, HOT! The vibration in your mind was danger, and your hand moved. Get it?

Sound, heat, light and thought are also, each in their turn, transformed into other frequencies, each affecting the body… hope you still with me here?

Within our brains are centers which control the functioning of all our internal organs. For instance the heart. You don’t think, “Okay I must beat my heart.” It just does that. You just breathe automatically. We all heal automatically.

Now, if it goes to show that we do this, somewhere in us are the controls to these, “vibrations.” With proper “stimulation” we can control these functions. Bob Proctor calls this “Vibratory control of the body.” The brain is a vibratory instrument.

An EEG (electroencephalography) reads the electrical activity of the brain. If a person has epilepsy, they will get a reading. The reading is taken in sections and each part can be monitored.

An ECG traces the electrical changes which occur during heart contractions. S

So these vibrations are certainly NOT SOMETHING new to us. Most of us are already aware of this. The problem here is that the vast majority of people are not aware of the connection between their vibrations and their results in life.

Not cool I know, but often people are in bad or confused vibrations, busily attempting THROUGH force, to achieve GOOD results. However, due to the negative vibration which they are in, they continually will be bombarded by all manner of negative people and situations, which by law, are being attracted to them. At some point, their battle becomes overwhelming.

Let me give you an example. Today I went to pick up some camping stuff. At this huge shop, I was merely going about my business. I passed a women who was screaming at two staff for not being pointed in the right direction. She was demanding to speak to the manager and having a big fit in the store. She must of wasted about 15 minutes of energy, before she realized that no one cared and she went off. Storming around she screamed at every shop employee she could find .

When I left the store (I had everything I needed) she was still in the same place she was, even more frustrated, because no one would help her and no one cared. I could see the negativeness in her face and almost felt it too. I stayed FAR away and so did everyone else :)

These kinds of people may be likened to a person who is jumping off the top of a building, and trying to go up, at one and the same time. The result, in either case, would be equally predictable and equally disastrous.

CONNECTING LINK

Two objects whose electromagnetic fields are the same are operating on the same frequency. We can say they are in resonance, in harmony with each other. When two objects are in resonance or vibration at the same speed, the vibratory rate may be transmitted from one to the other through the medium of the electron.

For example, we can see that a globe in a chandelier will vibrate when in resonance with a certain key on a piano, yet it will not vibrate to any other note.

The two objects under discussion are composed of entirely different material and they have completely different shapes. Still, they are in resonance with one another, due to the fact their ultimate magnetic fields are the same. They are in resonance with one another, due to the fact their ultimate magnetic fields are the same. They are within the same sphere of relative motion, and this holds true, irrespective of their size, shape, or the elements of which they are composed.

All electromagnetic waves, or quantums, have their own particular rate or frequency, which corresponds to the number of changes in direction they make per second. The electromagnetic wave is simply a “Scale of Vibration,” and it is subdivided into specific regions.

We must realize that these regions are not actual divisions, but merely arbitrary spaces covering frequencies that manifest in and out sense in different ways. Each region actually “blends” into the one above and the one below, and in truth, there are no definite lines of demarcation.

God has breathed life into us, and this life is in all things. We are all connected by the fact that we were created by God and whether you can see it with the naked eye is unimportant. For like the earth is connected to the sun, the moon and the whole universe, so we too are connected by gravity to the earth and all things living around us. How incredible don’t you think? The only physical difference which exists between one thing and another, relates to the density of their vibration.

When you choose certain thoughts, your brain cells are affected. These cells vibrate and send off electromagnetic waves. When you REALLY CONCENTRATE on those thoughts, you increase the amplitude of vibration and the electric waves become more potent.

Know that it is you who is originating those electric waves and know that you are also determining the density of them by your own free will. You must also know, since you are originating these electric waves, your whole being is being put in that particular vibration.

We just covered the point that two objects may be entirely different material and shape, and yet still be in Resonance. This is due to the fact their ultimate magnetic fields are the same, because they are within the same shere of relative motion.

When you hold the image of your goal on the screen of your mind, in the present tense, you are vibrating in harmony with every particle of enerfy necessary for the manifestation of your image on the physical plane. By holding that image, those particles of energy are moving toward you and you are moving toward them, because that IS THE LAW!

Everything is merely a manifestation of Spirit as I like to say.

When the world finally comes to understand this, WE WILL ALL BE AWARE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE THE SAME; they only APPEAR to be different. The true dividing lines for mankind are not, borders, color or language, but simply ignorance and it’s polar opposite, UNDERSTANDING!

KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

You automatically like people who cause you to feel good. It would necessarily follow, therefore, that others will like you when you cause them to feel good, or when you MOVE them into a more positive vibration.

I’m not going to go into the technical theories of why this is true, but I’m sure you realize that you can move people into more positive vibrations, just because you are around. The opposite is then also true, that negative people can move you into a more negative vibration just by being around YOU.

ATTITUDE

Every physical thing throws off a vibration. Everything which you see, hear, smell, taste, or touch, throws off a vibration, because these things, like everything else, are in a constant state of motion! Realize that a ACORN vibrates at the rate of an acorn, when planted and fed, it’s vibrations change and it grows into a TREE. A Big acorn tree.

Whenever you get near enough to them you enter their vibration, you will be affected by it, whether you realize it or not.

Have you ever noticed, for example, how peaceful you feel (VIBRATE) when you walk alone in the park?

The law works exactly the same as in the mental realm. For when a person thinks a thought, it means the person has consciously or unconsciously started a group of brain cells vibrating abnormally. Once these brain cells, being things, begin to vibrate abnormally, they throw off a wave of electronic enegry which moves out seeking a place to land.

If you are in the sphere of their vibrations and you happen to have similar cells which are in rapport with the ones vibrating in the other person’s brain, then you receive these vibrations and are affected mentally by them, either negatively or positively.

Let us say someone is vibrating to “ANGER,” if you are the type of person who becomes easily angered and you happen to enter the vibratory field of those anger vibrations, then those vibrations will strike the “anger cells” in your own brain.

A condition of resonance being present, those vibrations will start your brain cells vibrating and your entire being will move into that vibration. You will become irritated or angry , even though you may, or may not know, the cause of your own anger.

This same principle applies to all mental vibrations. As soon as a person starts to think, he starts brain cells vibrating. Energy is released, therefore, in the form of electrons which travel out according to the intensity of the thought involved.

Whoever stops that energy, is affected by it. But bear in mind, the only thing which stops a thought, is that which resonates with that thought. This means, if you should run into an electromagnetic vibratory field of negative thoughts, you will, if you are that type of person, become negative yourself. Conversely, if you run into a positive vibratory field, you will experience the opposite of the negative; namely positive.

Since the air we breathe is literally “filled” with  both types of vibrations, they are constantly bouncing into your brain. As a result, you could become like a “ship without a rudder,” (like me sometimes) tossed about at the mercy of whatever is vibrating or “in the air.” However, once you understand the Law of Vibration, you are in a position to insulate yourself against the negative  vibrations. You can then be in control of yourself, in the true sense of the word, and you will begin to attract to you the things and circumstances that you choose.

IN OTHER WORDS BECOME A MENTAL MAGNET!

If energy is neither created nor destroyed and everything is in its original state is energy, then everything you eill EVER want is already here. It is SIMPLY a matter of choosing the thoughts which will put you into harmonious vibration with the good that you desire.

EVERYTHING YOU ARE SEEKING IS SEEKING YOU IN RETURN. Everything you want is already yours if you choose. All you have to do is BECOME AWARE OF WHAT YOU ALREADY POSSESS.

When you bring your life into harmony with the LAW, into harmony with the current of Divine Order, you will find that the “negative” will have taken wings and you will no longer attract what you don’t want. YIPEE!

Although it is true that everything you will ever want is already here, it is up to you to get into harmony with it. Clearly, you will never get into harmony with prosperity, if you insist upon holding images of lack and limitation in the storehouse of your marvelous mind. Since you are always magnetized toward something, it follows it can never be anyone else’s fault, when something comes into your life you supposedly do not want. Understand you have ordered it and it is being delivered to you, right on schedule!
